oh no! 06.02.04 (4:58 am) Well two weeks of spectacular form on my part came to a end on monday, at the uci race in Fleche Hesbignonne / Cras Avernas (1.5). I wasn't feeling too chipper in the morning, but I thought it was just because I had dug so deep on saturday. It was a crazy field, Lambowcredit, Collmans, Rabbobank. I have never been in a race with so many world champions, it seemed like every one of those guys had rainbow stripes on their sleeves. Sven Nyes, and Mario Declerq were among the bunch as well. Pretty much the best field I think I have ever raced. It was pretty cool I spent much of the first hour in the front with the big teams, but I struggled with a 100kph descent, and abandoned in the feed zone with "stomach issues" and a case of bad legs. Once again it was a great experiance, but it looks like I pushed just a little too much because I have had a head cold for the past couple days. Oh well, now I am pretty focused on just getting better for the last few weeks of racing here. Thanks for checking in. Tot ziens, paco 0 Comments
